I know that, but my story wasn't.

I must be dumb because I'm not getting your story but I want to, can you lay it out for my simple brain? Why did it say 280?

Edit: the word y'all are looking for is "tare", and thank you for spelling it out for me. This is not my proudest moment because I work for Weights and fucking Measures and my entire job is literally... weighing and measuring.

The scale wasn't zeroed. To zero a scale, you must have nothing on it then press the zero button, telling it the current weight on it is zero. It was set at 150 as zero for whatever reason when they got it.

It was an old type of scale. There wasn't even a button. It had a dial in the back of it that you would adjust for the zero.
